Installing the Flurp (our Plug-in)

This is for the standalone plug-in (not the full Netarx Sensor)

Thank you for helping to stop social engineering attacks!

  • The first decision is decide if you are going to install the Flurp as a full agent or just as a browser plug-in/extension. The full agent is more secure and works with the Full/Thick versions of Outlook, Teams and Zoom but it is only for Microsoft Windows. Alternatively, if you wish to use the Flurp on Linux or Mac we have a Plugin version but it only works with browser based apps like:Outlook (OWA), Teams, Gmail and Meet.

If you are interested in installing the Flurp as a Plugin then keep reading, otherwise, if you are interested in the Full Agent Version, click this link:

  • The second decision is to decide if you are going to install users manually as part of small organization less than 10 users or automate the installation. If you plan on automating the installation make sure that you are the administrator of your organization - if you use G-suite then we need the Google Admin and if you use Microsoft 365 then we need the Entra Global Admin or Active Directory Domain Admin. We need the Global Admin to install the Integrated App for Outlook (the installed think version), a Global OAuth token and to do a Bulk install with Powershell scripts.
